AbstractSingle crystals of the known ternary cerium intermetallic Ce5Cu19P12were grown by Sn flux and I2transport methods. The long axis of the black hexagonal needles was confirmed to be the c-axis by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Electrical resistivity of both single crystals and a pressed pellet was measured from 4 - 300 K; the room temperature resistivity is about 400 μΩ-cm for the needle axis of the crystals and about 5 mΩ-cm for the pressed pellet. The thermopower of the pressed pellet was found to be 34 μV/K at room temperature.

Abstract Tris(dimethylamino)borane, X-ray The crystal and molecular structure of tris(dimethylamino)borane, a liquid at room temperature, has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods at - 116°C. The single-crystal growth was accomplished by means of a miniature zone melting process on the diffractometer. The structure data are compared with those of other aminoboranes.

When crystals of 9-tricyclo[4.4.1.0]undecalyl-4-(carbomethoxy)phenyl ketone (1) were allowed to stand in the dark for extended periods of time at room temperature, the compound underwent a thermal reaction — the enolene rearrangement — to afford enol 2. The crystals remained transparent and appeared unchanged in shape as the reaction proceeded. X-ray diffraction data were collected on single crystals containing 17%, 25%, 66%, and 100% of the enol. The crystal structure of a simple enol was obtained via this novel single-crystal-to-single-crystal enolene rearrangement.Key words: single crystal, thermal, rearrangement, enol, enolene.

The tetratopic ligands 1,4-bis(2-ethylbutoxy)-2,5-bis(3,2’:6’,3’’-terpyridin-4’-yl)benzene (1) and 1,4-bis(3-methylbutoxy)-2,5-bis(3,2’:6’,3’’-terpyridin-4’-yl)benzene (2) have been prepared and characterized by 1H and 13C{1H} NMR, IR, and absorption spectroscopies and mass spectrometry. Reactions of 1 and 2 with cobalt(II) thiocyanate under conditions of crystal growth at room temperature result in the formation of [{Co(1)(NCS)2}·MeOH·3CHCl3]n and [{Co(2)(NCS)2}·0.8MeOH·1.8CHCl3]n. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that each crystal lattice consists of a trinodal self-penetrating (62.84)(64.82)(65.8)2 net. The nodes are defined by two independent cobalt centres and the centroids of two crystallographically independent ligands which are topologically equivalent.

ABSTRACTOur recent report of epitaxial single crystal growth of C+ ion-beam-deposited diamond films on (111) single crystals of silicon is shown to be incorrect. We briefly describe the circumstances leading to this revision (and to our earlier finding) and discuss the possible structure of these films based on preliminary synchrotron X-ray data and on the Raman spectrum.

The influence of sintering temperature, sintering and annealing atmospheres, and quench rate on the properties of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3Oy has been investigated by electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements, thermogravimetric analysis, powder x-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Room-temperature resistivity and the transition width decreased, and the fraction of the superconducting material and the bulk density increased with increase in the sintering temperature, but had no effect on the transition temperature (Tc) for samples fired in flowing oxygen. A sample that was rapidly quenched from 930 °C to room temperature after sintering in air had a perovskite structure and Tc (onset) ∼90 K but its resistance did not become zero even at 77 K. A sample sintered in air at 930 °C and furnace cooled had Tc (midpoint) of ∼89.6 K and transition width (10%–90%) of ∼2.6 K. The loss and gain of oxygen occurs reversibly in YBa2Cu3Oy.

Stoichiometry of the well-known high-T c compound YBa 2 Cu 3 O y is modified by varying the Cu concentration in the system, and changes in the oxygen content and superconducting properties are investigated. The oxygen content shows a nonlinear dependence on the Cu concentration. For Cu deficiency up to 20%, the transition temperature T c remains at a nearly constant value of 93 K. X-ray diffraction measurements show that the compound is orthorhombic in this range of stoichiometric variation, and the Cu -deficient superconductor is single phase. The room temperature resistivity increases exponentially while the critical current density decreases exponentially with increasing Cu deficiency. These results indicate that the predominant mechanism for high-T c superconductivity is closely related to the local structure around the Cu and O atoms.

Single crystals of cobalt digallium tetraoxide, CoGa2O4, have been grown by cooling slowly a 1:1 mixture of CoO and Ga2O3 from 1473 K to room temperature under the presence of a PbF2 flux. The compound crystallizes with the cubic spinel structure (space group Fd\overline{3}m). The occupancy refinement based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data shows CoGa2O4 to be a largely normal spinel with an inversion parameter of 0.575 (4), resulting in a structural formula of IV(Co0.425Ga0.575)VI[Co0.575Ga1.425]O4, where IV() and VI[] represent the tetrahedral and the octahedral sites, respectively.

Aluminosilicate sodalite Na8[SiAlO4]6Cl2 single crystals are synthesized by hydrothermal processing at 873–973 K and 100–150 MPa in noble metal capsules to avoid contamination. The starting material is aluminosilicate gel, and spontaneous nucleation followed by its growth takes place. The largest size of the single crystals obtained is 1 mm across. Longer aging and heating result in larger single crystals. It is also found that the aluminum source in the synthesis gel and the element used in the noble metal capsules influence the single crystal growth. Judging from x-ray diffraction (XRD) (powder and single-crystal), optical microscopy, and thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), the sodalite single crystals grown have good quality compared with the conventional powder.
